Catch Me If You Can



Starring:
Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks, Jennifer Garner, Martin Sheen, Christopher Walken

Directed by:
Steven Spielberg


Synopsis:

Frank Abagnale, Jr. (DiCaprio) worked as a doctor, a lawyer and as a co-pilot for a major airline - all before his 18th birthday. A master of deception, he was also a brilliant forger whose skill gave him his first real claim to fame. At the age of 17, Frank became the most successful bank robber in the history of the United States. FBI Agent Carl Hanratty (Hanks) had made it his prime mission to capture Frank and bring him to justice, but Frank is always one step ahead of him, baiting him to continue the chase.

Review:

Great cast and a tremendous cinematography are the elements of an Oscar-award-winning movie! The movie depicts prevalent check fraud that can happen given the weak internal control on these negotiable instruments. The movie didn't fail to elicit incredible
acting. And again kudos to the incredible director, Mr. Speilberg. i really appreciate the film.

Points to Ponder:

Again, it's a question of ethical professionalism! Are you contented in getting success through unethical conduct? People dream of getting rich and I for one want to become someday. But then again, one thing you would compensate is the feeling of triumph over difficulties. Yeah, you can attain your endeavors outright but you miss the fun of having it the hard way. And the most important thing is the feeling of having money without guilt. So before doing monkey business, think again!
